|
Target organs for Antidiuretic Hormone. |
Kidneys- stimulates kidney tubule cells to reabsorb water |
|
Target organs for Growth Hormone |
Liver, muscle, bone, cartilage, other tissues. -anabolic hormone that stimulates somatic growth; mobilizes fats; spares glucose |
|
Target organs for Thyroid stimulating hormone. |
Thyroid gland- stimulates gland to release thyroid hormones |
|
Target organs for adrenocorticotropic hormone. |
